About Line Spacing In Microsoft Word 2010, the default spacing for most Quick Style sets is 1.15 line spacing and 10 points after each paragraph.

Change line spacing for an entire document The easiest way to change the line spacing for an entire document is to apply a Quick Style set that uses the spacing that you want. If you want to change the line spacing for a portion of the document, you can select the paragraphs and change their line spacing settings.

On the Home tab, in the Styles group, click Change Styles. Point to Style Set, and point to the various style sets. Using the live preview, notice how the line spacing changes from one style set to the next. When you see spacing that you like, click the name of the style set.

b)Click Line Spacing Options, and then select the options that you want under Spacing. See the following list of available options for more information. – Single This option accommodates the largest font in that line, plus a small amount of extra space. The amount of extra space varies depending on the font that is used. – 1.5 lines This option is one-and-one-half times that of single line spacing. – Double This option is twice that of single line spacing. – At least This option sets the minimum line spacing that is needed to fit the largest font or graphic on the line. – Exactly This option sets fixed line spacing, expressed in points. For example, if the text is in a 10-point font, you can specify 12 points as the line spacing. – Multiple This option sets line spacing that can be expressed in numbers greater than 1. For example, setting line spacing to 1.15 will increase the space by 15 percent, and setting line spacing to 3 increases the space by 300 percent (triple spacing).
